That's about all I have to say about the situation with my parents. It has deteriorated to being just as bad as it was on January 11, when I left here the first time. All I can say now is this: As much as my mother vows she won't have a second stroke, I hope to God she has a fatal one tonight. You think I don't mean that? Don't kid yourself. I'm not going to kill her — my life is bad enough without having to spend the rest of my existence in the Cooper Road State Penitentiary on M-106 near Jackson — but I hope to God she dies tomorrow, or maybe sooner. Good riddance when you do, you fucking bitch. I've given up on the redesign of this site. The look I came up with just didn't cut it by my standards; it certainly wasn't up to the level I set with this version of the site. Maybe I'll think about it again in the future. That's not to say that nothing at all is going to change; I'm probably going to make some noticeable changes to my CSS file, but I will do that within the existing framework of the site. Furthermore, I'm going to see if I can ease this version's reliance on tables for page layout — tables cause me headaches in many places around the site. Now that things are a bit more stable, I promise to update this thing more often. I'm going to send out an e-mail to my mailing list asking them for their continued regular visitation — it seems like a lot of my visitors have left me lately. At least they wouldn't abandon me in the streets like a certain fucking bitch ...
